A thought, an assumption, a reality 

A thought…

When most people think about birthdays we typically think about them in terms of milestones.  Milestone birthdays are the day we are born,  our 1st, our 16th, our 18th, our 21st, our 30th, then each decade until our 60th, and then every 5 years until our journey ends.  So let’s call that 17 milestone birthdays if we live until we are 100 years old.  I get it,  and I love it.  Milestone birthdays are fun and I’m all for celebrating them.  As I’ve gotten older and more appreciative,  I guess I’ve become what one of my lil sisters, Tammi,  calls her husband and me. She calls us “Hard, Soft MoFos”.  

Real Talk, she might be right, because now, I celebrate every birthday like it’s a milestone!

Happy Birthday to my man Darren and happy birthday to one of my lil sisters Kashara.   “May today be another special day on your journey on this thing we call life.”

An Assumption…

You might think June is my favorite month.  You’d be incorrect.   Yes, June is special because all of my baby girls were born in June. Chelsey on the 1st, Yolonda on the 15th, and my BreBre on the 27th.  Me and my Gemini sister, Iris, birthday is on June 12.  And my 1st grandchild, Vecus Aiden was born on the 17th. So June is a special month for us.

A Reality…

My favorite month is September,  here’s why…

My son was born on the 2nd, my Mom and dad’s anniversary was on the 8th, I started working at Kroger, where I met my wife on the 10th, one of my lil brothers anniversary is on the 7th, my Uncle’s birthday is on the 11th, my moms birthday is on the 12th, my Uncle and Aunts anniversary is on the 20th, Autumn, my favorite season, starts on the 23rd, I first met my wife at Kroger on the 27th, our wedding anniversary is on the 27, one of my favorite people, Teresa T’s birthday is on the 28, my lil sister, Kashara and my man Darren’s birthday is on the 29th.   

How can September not be my Favorite month?  The great news is I’m willing to share it with you!

Have a great Friday!

Stay safe!
